House and Senate negotiators appear to be close to reaching agreement on a bipartisan omnibus spending deal that could be announced as early as Tuesday.
The deal, if it comes, would pave the way for final fiscal 2023 appropriations that congressional leaders hope to pass by next week. However, the details of that potential agreement, including how — and if — it would bridge the parties’ multibillion-dollar gap on nondefense funding, remain under wraps.
With current funding set to expire at midnight Friday, congressional leaders are moving to buy themselves a little more time. Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer put his chamber on notice that a weeklong spending bill is on its way to the floor.
